UPDATE ON NIGERIAN SCHOOLS RESUMPTION

Some students have already given up hope on school resuming this year perhaps because of the nature of their jobs, their training duration or they've not made enough money to go back to school with. Others who have been at home all this while are still hoping it resumes as they are already tired especially the final year students whose graduation year seems to have been extended by another thus, thwarting their plans. Well there's a great ray of hope now as the Federal Government has given light on the resumption of tertiary institutions in the country.
The Minister of State for Education Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba yesterday on NTA television gave the students hope that tertiary schools will resume very soon and that the long strike embarked by the Academic Staff Union of Universities will also come to an end soon and as you know, both universities and polytechnics under Federal Government are affected by the ASUU strike.

According to him, ''Tertiary institutions across the country will open very soon,” he said.
“Private universities have written to us, requesting that they are allowed to reopen ahead of public institutions. Vice-chancellors have also requested that we allow them to reopen for their students in exit classes.''
''We have also a lot of calls from bodies who want us to resolve the industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities before reopening because some public schools which are not ASUU-prone want to take the advantage of the strike to move ahead, but that would destroy our public schools. So, we are working on all these calls.”
Hopefully, the next month will bring greater tidings for our Nigerian undergraduates. No hope is lost.
